News Staff Corner I hope everyone is making it through this oppressive heat and humidity. We know you've heard it many times but once more won't hurt - keep hydrated, limit your outside activities and try to stay indoors with AlC or fans. Below are some important items that need your attention: Friday night dinners are a club function and therefore members that come to the club are expected to participate by having dinner and not ordering out for food. There is no smoking in the club any time food is being served or while there is a function that has a meal as part of its program. Corkage collection still remains to be a problem. The proceeds fall far short of the amount of beer and soda consumed. The club cannot continue to absorb this loss. Please remember to contribute your fair share anytime you indulge in a cold drink be it beer or soda. Remember it is your club and along with this, these are your expenses. During these heat waves it is important to monitor the A/C and not let it run continuously overnight or when no one is using the facilities. If you are the last to leave, please turn off the Ale. Members News As you know, we have been featuring members of our club who have contributed unselfishly to make the club a better place. This month we would like to recognize Lila Shaker from the Ladies Auxiliary. We all know Lila from her wonderful, informative, and humorous articles in our past newsletters. We all remember how we looked forward to the next month's newsletter just to read her page, not that the other pages weren't important, but she always had something in her articles that either caught your mind or tickled your fancy. Ifyol! don't know Lila personally, we are sure you know her through her articles. Thank you Lila and we hope you consider writing again. President John Ashkar was recently honored by the National Association of Realtors. John received the status of Realtor Emeritus. This honor is given to real estate professionals who have had membership in the association for 40 years. The article in the Danbury News-Times also listed the long list of John's accomplishments in the real estate profession. The full article can be found in the July 17th edition of the newspaper. (and we thought that he was just another pretty face). Please feel free to send us any member information that you think is noteworthy. We will try to include it in a future newsletter. Health and Welfare, if you know of any member that is ill, please send an email to Fred Antonios at fredrjt@aol.com For Hall rental availability, please send an email toVPMikeCaravakis.atcaravakis@aol.com
